Monday Memo 3/21/16

Good morning!

I hope the snow and delay isn't making a complete mess of your morning.  If education is not your industry, I can understand that this may have launched a major wrinkle into your Monday.  As a teacher, you never lose that childhood thrill of a snow day; even a snow delay is a fun, unexpected surprise.  I am excited to see your child arrive this morning, stomping the snow off their boots (be sure to dig out that snow gear!).  The kids have a blast at recess after a snowstorm.  There's nothing like playing in the snow with seventy of your closest friends!

Butterfly Place Field Trip

The permission slip for the Butterfly Place was sent home last week.  Please return it as soon as possible.  If you need another copy, click here.

Congratulations, Spellers!

Many students took part in the WPSF Spelling Bee yesterday, and they are to be commended for their efforts.  It's hard to spell words on demand in front of an audience!  By all accounts, the second graders handled themselves beautifully, and I am very proud of them. 

Flat Stanley Reminder

Hopefully, your child's Flat Stanley has been successfully launched out into the world!  We are looking forward to hearing all about their adventures in April.  Just a reminder that the Flat Stanleys are due by April 15; that's the Friday before vacation.  We couldn't do this project without parent help and support, so thank you very much for all your work in making this happen.

Sharing

We are sharing spring poems this week--ah, I love the irony of a first-day-of-spring snowstorm.   Many children brought it in on Friday, and everyone will share on their assigned Sharing Day (Friday people will share Thursday this week).  Next week, we will share jokes because April Fool's Day is one week from Friday. 

 

Enjoy the upcoming long weekend!
